Case Study Of Lunatic

Here is some old and some new information on the madman Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

When an aircraft crashed in Teheran last month, killing 108 people, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad promised an investigation. But he also thanked the dead, saying: "What is important is that they have shown the way to martyrdom which we must follow."

A few months ago, we were treated to a video showing Ahmadinejad telling a cleric that he had felt the hand of God entrancing world leaders as he delivered a speech to the UN General Assembly.

In the video Ahmadinejad described how one of his Iranian colleagues had claimed to have seen a glow of light around Mahmoud as he began his speech to the UN.

"I felt it myself too," Mahmoud recounts. "I felt that all of a sudden the atmosphere changed there. And for 27-28 minutes all the leaders did not blink…It's not an exaggeration, because I was looking.

"They were astonished, as if a hand held them there and made them sit. It had opened their eyes and ears for the message of the Islamic Republic."

Of course, the audience was dumbstruck by the insanity of what they were hearing.

One of the first acts of Mahmoudd's government was to donate about £10 million to the Jamkaran mosque, a popular pilgrimage site where the pious come to drop messages to the Hidden Imam into a holy well. A rumor - denied by the government but widely believed - is that Mr Ahmadinejad and his cabinet have signed a "contract" pledging themselves to work for the return of the Mahdi and sent it to Jamkaran.
